Reading through this thread I understand the gist of your statement but you never said what you would recommend?

Materialist and power analysis. Trump does things because it suits him materially. Not cause he's evil. So does Elon Musk. Ask what Trump has actually done for the Trump supporter.

Everything is going to shit in the US, and instead of doubling down on "how does renaming the Gulf of Mexico lower the prices of eggs?", online libs keep complaining on how the vote turned out and that you gan't convince MAGAs.

I guess that's part of donvicts power: he causes outrage which stops effective organization against him, with everyone firefighting against his latest outrage, instead of remaining focused on his downfall.

Don't forget what already worked. After his "muslim ban", direct action did shut some airports down, which softened the blow.
